Discretionary Mandatory Mandatory Mandatory
9 Opioids Outlook Moving Forward Opioid Crisis Response Act (S. 2680) likely to be Senate s opioids package NIHB working to include priorities in amendments as the bill comes to the floor Votes likely pushed back until after Supreme Court nominee is confirmed House has passed ~60 bills related to opioids Most do not have direct Tribal impact SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (H.R. 6) Unclear at this point if the House will take further action without the Senate s input Congress needs to hear from you about Tribal Priorities!
10 Medicaid Workforce Requirements On January 17 th CMS issued a Dear Tribal Leader Letter stating that CMS could not provide an exemption to the Work Requirements for American Indians and Alaska Natives because of Civil Rights concerns NIHB invited NCAI and other National Native Organizations to work with Tribal leaders across the nation to evaluate whether this Administration decision was part of a greater strategy and to work together to assert a unified response and strategy to protect Tribal Sovereignty On May 7th, CMS updated its position, stating that they would actively consider state proposed accommodations for AI/AN from work requirements on a state by state basis
11 HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT LANGUAGE CHAIRMAN TOM COLE (CHICKASAW) (R-OK) Tribal Sovereignty. Federally-recognized Indian Tribes are sovereign nations residing within a State. Moreover, Indian Tribes are political, sovereign entities to which the Federal government owes a trust responsibility... No discretionary action taken by any Administration can impede the direct relationship between the Federal government and the provision of health care for Indian Tribes.
12 STATE PUSHBACK: Kentucky On June 29, 2018, a Federal Judge ruled that workforce requirements as a condition of eligibility the Kentucky Waiver requiring work or community engagement was not consistent with the objectives of the Medicaid Statues and remanded the Waiver back to the Administration. This development will not resolve the matter nationally, but will likely create delay in the Administration s implementation of Medicaid work requirements.
13 Legislation Directly Impacting DSTs SENATE S Restoring Accountability in the Indian Health Service Act of 2017 Introduced by Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) 3 Cosponsors All Republican April 2018, reported out of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES H.R Restoring Accountability in the Indian Health Service Act of 2017 Introduced by Representative Kristi Noem (R-SD) 8 Cosponsors All Republican Referred to Four House Committees (Natural Resources, Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, and Oversight and Government Reform) Reported out of Subcommittee: Energy and Commerce; Resources
14 Restoring Accountability in the IHS S and HR 2662 were introduced as a direct response to the health care crisis in the Great Plains LARGELY FOCUSES ON STAFFING NEEDS PURPOSE: This bill amends the Indian Health Care Improvement Act to require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a pay system for health care professionals employed by Indian Health Service (IHS) that is competitive with the salary of health care professionals employed by the Veterans Health Administration. HHS may establish incentives related to IHS employee recruitment and retention by providing relocation costs and rental assistanceto employees undercertain circumstances. In addition, IHS must: centralize its credentialing system for licensed health professionals seeking to provide health care services at its facilities, establishes standards to measure the timeliness of health care services in its facilities, implements an annual mandatory program that provides cultural training for certain IHS employees and contractors, and establish a demonstration project to provide additional staffing resources to understaffed IHS facilities.
